Damn, Jim, have you ever seen such bad taste out there in the wild?

Yep. Bombing down the PCH sure ruins my nights. The canyons suuuure aren’t fun to blow through either. I’d much rather live somewhere ugly and flat with no culture
Lots of beliefs are offensive. For example, Sandy Hook deniers.
As opposed to the article, which is clearly unbiased?
If you just read the wiki article you linked as well, there is circumstantial evidence you’re just ignoring.
That article is a ride. All sweet stuff until
The twins prospered and moved to Surry County, where they came to own more than one thousand acres of land and twenty-eight enslaved people.
Wild
They don’t want to protect us bro. That’s why everyone hates the LAPD. Imagine being the victim of a crime and being laughed out of the station. Or getting robbed, and waiting 45 minutes for someone who literally doesn’t give a shit to show up.
Also, as someone pointed out, the only thing they do about gangs is form their own.
Fuck, man. DBZ was a huge part of my childhood. Toriyama is a legend.
Yeah, that’s a bit of a reach - not like immigrants aren’t brutally exploited on vegetable farms either or anything
You’re not even wrong on 3/4 but explain to me how going vegan is a stand against discrimination? I stop eating eggs and systemic racism is defeated??
Am I an idiot, or does the article literally not once mention LA? I see SF, San Jose, Oakland, but no southern California….
Why does everybody forget the rape allegations that he didn’t stand trial for?
Wow, this is super cool - saving this for when I finally spruce up my old desktop for a home server. You’re a talented person mate
Never ask a Biden supporter why Buttigieg is Secretary of Transportation
Anybody who doesn’t like the rape apologist supports Trump 😭😭😭
Everyone seems to hate Clarence Thomas but doesn’t seem to remember Biden grilling Anita Hill.
It’s almost like the guy above you is complaining that we had many better options during the 2020 primary, but people like you voted for a dogshit candidate that is literally losing in the polls to an overt fascist.
So when democracy is gone, I personally will blame people who saw how much a threat Trump was and thought fucking Joe Biden was the best choice.
That’s fucking awesome. Stoked for you!
Or maybe that slur really did carry less weight for an Englishman in 1971? Here’s the quote you referenced:
Let me ask you about something else that was in the Hunter Davies book. At one point it said you and Brian Epstein went off to Spain.
Yes. We didn’t have an affair though. Fuck knows what was said. I was pretty close to Brian. If somebody is going to manage me, I want to know them inside out. He told me he was a fag.
I hate the way Allen is attacked and Brian is made out to be an angel just because he’s dead. He wasn’t, you know, he was just a guy.
I read the entire interview. There’s nothing in there condemning being gay, or even really any commentary on sexuality. He says a slur a few times! In 1971! There’s also a huge chunk of the interview where he talks about supporting civil rights, which you’re not talking about for some reason.
Your comments makes it sound like he’s hand in hand with Reagan 10 years later, when it’s honestly less offensive than a lot of shit that’s been said this decade by politicians and Christians worldwide.
I doubt I can change your mind, since you seem pretty set on this point. But I’m curious: Elton John didn’t come out as gay until the 90s. If he was killed in 1980, would you be calling him a bigot too?
As far as I can tell, the lawsuit is still ongoing? This is the most recent court document I could find, but it’s more than a year old: https://www.vermontjudiciary.org/sites/default/files/documents/bombard v riggen mello 21-cv-176 11-2-22.pdf
Very interested to see how much the taxpayers have to pay for another cop abusing his power
I’m not saying “oh, it was the 70s, fag meant something else” (even though that’s true - 60 years have gone by!). I’m saying that taking that comment out of context and labeling the guy as a bigot is some 2023 shit. Lennon was, by his own admission, bisexual - and it’s entirely possible that he actually hooked up with Epstein (and Elton John, later on).
I’m not defending the comment, to be clear. It’s quite nasty. But using that to label him as a homophobe/bigot is an absurd reach.
He was an asshole fwiw, and the domestic/child abuse is completely inexcusable. But for fucks sake, he was probably referring to hippies with that comment.
And honestly, it is important to view things in historical context. Being supportive of an quasi-openly gay person (and letting them manage your career!) when it was criminal takes balls, and that’s not something that should be erased because of one nasty quote.
“I like the radio hits” is very arguably bad taste
But yes Nazis are bad
